I got a job! (and other things)

Note: some mild profanity later on


Hello everyone, so yeah. I have some cool news! I got a job!

I am now working at my grandfather's lawoffice. It is a great job for many reasons but one is that i am working alongside my uncle Ty, my mom, and my grandpapa. I also like it because i am working and doing stuff about the court, and law (mostly family law), and when i have a question about something, i can ask my uncle or carla (not u carly, lol) because they know a lot of that kind of stuff, like, yesterday i asked carla about the bar exam, and my uncle about fiduciary's. btw, i work the mornings for about 3-4-5 hours a day. In the afternoon adeep comes in and does the regular filing. It is also a great job because it is a total worker bee job. I scan the thing into the comp, convert it 2 a pdf, then save it in the right folder. It is totally repetitive, but i like that. It allows me to think about other things, like my scripts, songs, or poems (not that i havent written a song or poem for ever!! but thats a different story). The only thing that is pissing me off about this job is that there is some problem with my pay, and taxes and stuff. GRRRRRRRRR. And plus, i wont get my first paycheck for weeks. P to the F to the T. PFT.

Now to all my aim buddies who have received, via email, that i have a new sn. It is johnscanner1783. Like I said before part of my job is to scan things into the comp, so i have a scanner next 2 me. So one time, my mom said (she needed something scanned) "oh Scanner boy! Come quickly, i have something for u to scan!" (thats just paraphrasing). And carla repeated scanner boy to herself a few times, and then said somehting along these lines "to more dignify john y dont we say 'john scanner,' instead of the demeaning 'scanner boy.'" so yeah. it stuck and i got a nickname from carla, yipee!

On to the next order of business, i will talk about the pets at my mom's house. Starting with the mammals.

We have two feline mammals. We have a calico cat named Cibil, because she has a line running down her face, and a tiger-like looking cat, named Chester, Cibil is black and light brown and sitting right in front me (soooooo cute!). Chester is grey and black striped and hiding under the piano bench becuz he hates everyone, lol. Cibil is mildy pudgy, and Chester is fat. Names for Cibil are: Cibil, and Bitch. Names for Chester are: Chester, Jester, and Chester Jester/Jester Chester. Cibil's nickname is Bith becuz she is one. We think Chester would eat us if he was big enuf. When u stop petting Cibil, even for a second, she scracthes u. It;s really annoying. She also has these little, wut we call feline orgasms, when u pat her above the hind legs, her eyes, get all hazy and she kinda falls over, in ecstasy (at least we think its ecstasy). btw, thats the only way to stop petting her without getting scratched. To get Cibil to come over to u, u either have to pat the surface ur sitting on, or put ur hand flat in the air, and then wiggle it slightly. She knows both of these mean petting time. Dont even try with Chester, he'll just get annoyed and ignore u. If he wants petting, he'll try to come up, but when u raise ur head to look at him, he'll get scared and run away.

Now we have the reptiles. And of these there is White Belly, Diadon, Loch (pronounced Lock), Halbert, and Mal Dextrious.

White Belly is my lizard from many years ago. She is a yellow-tailed leopard gecko. She was born in captivity and is very elitist and picky. If she isnt in the mood to be held, and u hold her, she just turns her head and doesnt look at u. She is a very picky eater, wut we feed her has to be wut she;s in the mood for, so when we have three different things we feed her, u can imagine we fail quite a bit. We feed her pinkies/fuzzies (baby mice), wax worms, and crickets. It all depends wut she;s in the mood for, and if she doesnt want it, she lets it die. Her name is white belly bcuz she has a white tummy (its soft and smooth).
White Belly is technically mine, but my brother has totally fallen in love with her. I dont no wut i am going to do when he moves out. awww....

We also have Diadon, who is my juvenile alligator lizard. I got him at Malibu creek and instantly loved him. He is also really cute and tends to bury him self in his cal-si-sand. He was born in the wild, and raised in the wild for awhile but right now when he bites me, it is ok, becuz he is so tiny, but i have to make sure he is mostly tame by the time he is 18 inches long. Diadon is the cutest little thing in the world. I have recently discovered that he buries himself in the cal-si-sand to sleep. He goes under around eight, and comes up around ten. (talk about sleeping in!) Also, he is beginning to like me. I was holding him today, stroking his back, as usual, and needed to grab something so i stopped stroking him. I usually do this to keep him calm while i hold him. Usually, when i stop, he tries to run away. But this time, he just lifted his head, looked around for a little bit, then rested his snout on my finger again. Also, when i tried to put him away, he wouldnt get off my fingers (thats what he was laying on), so i opened them up, and then he just grabbed onto my middle finger. I didnt want to shake him off, but had to go, so i had to scoop him up, and then i set him down on the ground, and he was fine. But I really feel we have begun to bond. I have also noticed that when i touch his bak when he is in the cage, he does not move, but when i try to pick him up, he usually runs away. I tried a soothing technique, i started stroking him while he was in the cage, which is wut i do when he is not in the cage, so that he will know that when i pick him up, he will just be stroked not eaten, so he could connect the saftey of the cage with the stroking, so that when i stroke him outside the cage, he still has that measure of safety. He is sooooo cute! btw, since i dont know if he is a boy or a girl, i gave him a nickname. His nickname is Lizzie, which is a girls name, and his real name is Diadon, which is a boy's name, so i am just trying to play the odds, lol.

Now we have Loch who will b interesting to discuss. Loch is a green garter snake, about as thick as half my pinky, but almost as long as my arm. I didnt like him at first becuz he was a snake. Snakes usually creep me out (except for ball python and boa constrictors), and loch was no different. We feed him wax worms, and to give him water, we chronically spray his tank with a squirt gun, (the inside of it, on the sides), and then he drinks it off the sides of his tank. I like loch now, but it has been a long road. Wuts the worst of it, is that one time, my bro was being really mean, and he shoved loch towards my face, and i opend my mouth 2 yell out, and loch went inside my mouth....YECCHHH! So yeah. I have gotten over it, and i am glad i didnt accidently bite his head off......now. btw, loch is really funny becuz he is so dopey. When he goes the side of his tank to drink, he usually misses and hits his head on the glass, and its funny, but i always end up feeling bad for him.

I am going to go the MalDextrious now, becuz Halbert will take forever. I dont know much about Mal but i know he is a river lizard from Malibu creek state park. He is a real character cuz when u go up to look at him, he tends to freeze, and it looks like he's posing, lol. So yeah. Thats really all i know about Mal. He eats pinheads (baby crickets), same as Diadon.

Now to Halbert, boy this will be hard. Actually, i will discuss the turtles on a later post. Becuz this one is so long it has taken forever to write, so i have postponed posting it. Therefore, I will not have this anymore, later on, i will make a post about Halbert (and now regina[hard g] and odrie).
